Many patients are unaware that a diabetes diagnosis can mean an increased risk to their feet. Poor circulation, loss of sensation, and nerve damage can occur in patients living with diabetes. A relatively minor injury can ulcerate, not because of poor foot care, but simply because the loss of sensation means a patient is unaware of a small injury to their foot.
The good news is that regular diabetic and neurovascular foot checks - recommended at least annually - as well as routine podiatry appointments every 2-3 months, can remove a great deal of this risk.
If you are diabetic, book in with us now.
And remember to check your feet regularly! π
